+Bigby & Snow Posted January 6, 2008 Posted January 6, 2008 Hello, I'm a girlie riding Kawasaki ER-5, started both biking & geocaching less than a year ago (winter-spring 2007). Enjoying both a lot! My other half's got a TDM 850 and an XJR1300 (the latter one not quite running yet...) but he's not that keen on geocaching.. We've just moved to Bristol - would be great to get to know some bikers/cachers in this area! Quote
+little-miss-naughty Posted January 7, 2008 Posted January 7, 2008 mine is a apache 320 shame its so far away but i think 150 miles on it is a bit much lol Quote
+Rose_Thorn Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 Have marked the date on hubby's 2008 MotoGP calendar! Quote
fraggle69 Posted April 10, 2008 Author Posted April 10, 2008 Only a few weeks to go till the event. If you think you may need last minute camping, drop me a line, I am told there's still plenty of room. You may even find you can turn up on the day but I wouldn't wanna risk it. See the cache page for more info! Happy Caching Quote
+scottpa100 Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 I've got a new toy too for local caching. Its 50cc of manic fun and I get about 90 odd to the gallon! Quote
whitingiom Posted April 12, 2008 Posted April 12, 2008 Gas Gas 250....will be out greenlaning in the morning with GPS along for the ride I've got a new toy too for local caching. Its 50cc of manic fun and I get about 90 odd to the gallon! Quote
+AmishWarlord Posted September 11, 2008 Posted September 11, 2008 Wow cool thread. I ride and cache. Right now I'm on a Honda Shadow 1100. I'm hoping to upgrade to a BMW 1200 GS Adventure soon so I can get more off road action in like "SSSSS" is doing with his. Looks like your having a ball on your GS "Ss" Caching on the bike saves gas and is more fun! Quote
andynelaine Posted September 11, 2008 Posted September 11, 2008 We have a little Honda CB 500. Elaine uses the gps and jabs me in the back when we have shot passed the P&G Again!!! Quote
+AmishWarlord Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 (edited) How do you guys plan your motorcycle caching trips? Here is how I'm doing mine now. I start on the map and look for cities that I'd like to visit or some theme. Then I connect them with a strait line and divide it into 11 equal points So I end up with 10 caches between the cities. Next I use geocache.com to find the nearest cache for each point along the route. I'm planing a theme trip when I get the 1200 GS bike. I call it the "300." It will start in Spartanburg, SC and go North to Sparta, NC. This is the trip by car. It's 172 miles and takes 3 hours. Take I-85 north turn right on I-77 north then another right on I-21 north and your there. Boring! This is the strait line distance of 117 miles. I divide that by 10.6 mile segments and get 10 waypoints along the line. Next I find a cache near each waypoint. Sometimes a good cache can be 15 or so miles away from the waypoint. Now the route is 196 miles long and goes through some interesting areas. I end up with a route that has lots of squiggly roads that we bikers like. I rarley used the routes that I had loaded so I only load the caches into the GPS now and just go cache to cache picking my own way between them and the caches keep me on course for the city I want to go to.

+sssss Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 BMW 1200 GS Adventure Nice choice, out of the bikes I have owned its certainly not a bike that has disappointed me. There are a couple of UK and US GS forums that are worth visiting for hints and tips. How do you guys plan your motorcycle caching trips? As for caching planning, I use memory map and GSAK to plan where I am going to ride and which caches I am going to do. That way I can see what caches are on green lanes (legal off road routes) or on roads that look suitable for biking. I also tend to use the bike for town centre caches as its easier to park the bike than the car and also a lot cheaper. Quote
+Icenians Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 What a great way to do it Amishwarlord. Must try that Quote
+womble&gobbi Posted September 14, 2008 Posted September 14, 2008 Well, He rides a Kawasaki Vulcan 1500cc I ride a Kawasaki Zephyr 1100cc Often go over to Spain and France on them Was hoping to combine caching and biking, but the weather this year has stopped that idea Quote
+Langly Posted September 14, 2008 Posted September 14, 2008 It just doesn't get much better than two-wheel caching. Moto-caching or bicycle caching. Some of my most memorable finds have been on two-wheels. Great thread. Quote
+Jacobite Posted September 14, 2008 Posted September 14, 2008 Two wheels is the way to do it. A lot of my finds my been done on the bike. Quote
Timfy Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 Two wheels all the way for me... Triumph Speed Four for when I want to get there quickly And the trusty geo-treader for when I'm taking my time... Quote
+bravehearts Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 Just checked out this thread, geocaching and bikes sounds good not going off road on mine. Quote
